Multiple sclerosis is a progressive neurological disease that affects people in many different ways. It could be paralysis one day, loss of vision the next or impaired memory the day after that. Living with MS means living with uncertainty.

The National MS Society organizes 100 rides nationwide. The funds they raise fuel research aimed at treating and eventually curing MS; they also provide crucial services for persons living with MS. We are helping the Society move forward toward a world without MS and making a difference in the lives of 400,000 Americans with multiple sclerosis.

Why I Ride

This is my 5th year riding with Bike MS: Round-Up Ride. I also continue to help ensure the general safety of the ride, and assist riders on the road. I want to help the National MS Society fund research, advocate for change, and help people with MS and their families. I believe in the work they do and want to be an active part of it.

Let's Move Forward Together

This year, I will be the team captain of Cheesy Riders. Cheesy Riders give full support of the event every year. We have raised over one million dollars for NMSS over the years.

As Cheesy Riders MS Ride team captain, I have help from my Co-Captain, Tina Robertson, and over 100 Cheesy Riders to recruit new team members, help fund raising and organize team activities before and during the two-day event. There is a lot of hard work but it's going to be very meaningful and exciting. I am counting on your help in any of the following ways:

1. join our team and ride with us.

2. ask your family and friends to join us and ride with us.

3. help us to promote the awareness of MS.

4. donate to NMSS.

Please support the MS society by donation of any amount or join me to become a Cheesy Rider.
